1 Description

htmlsection is a perl[1] script to insert section number in HTML. When you use htmlsection, you don't have to manage section, table, figure, program-list, and reference numbers and you don't have to make the table of contents, table index, figure index, and program-list index.

If files are specified, htmlsection reads HTML from these files. But, if files are not specified, htmlsection reads HTML from standard input.

Synopsis:

htmlsection [-options] [files ...]

3 Examples

3.1 Insert section number in HTML and make links to the section

htmlsection changes <section></section> tag to <h1></h1> tag and section number. You can use tag <section>, <subsection>, ..., and <subsubsubsubsubsection>. If name option is specified, htmlsection changes <sectionref> tag to the number and title of the section and make link to the section. If you want not to use number, use number option as <section number=no>.

3.1.1 Section Number Example

For example, make the file example.html as list3.1. 
list3.1: Section Number Example


<section name="intro" number=no>Introduction</section>

<section name="howto">How to use htmlsection</section>

<subsection name="howtouse">Let's use htmlsection!</subsection>
